Structure and dynamics of high- and low-density water molecules in the liquid and supercooled regimes.
European Physical Journal. E, Soft Matter 2016 December
By combining the local structure index with potential energy minimisations we study the local environment of the water molecules for a couple of water models, TIP5P-Ew and SPC/E, in order to characterise low- and high-density "species". Both models show a similar behaviour within the supercooled regime, with two clearly distinguishable populations of unstructured and structured molecules, the fraction of the latter increasing with supercooling. Additionally, for TIP5P-Ew, we find that the structured component vanishes quickly at the normal liquid regime (above the melting temperature). Thus, while SPC/E provides a fraction of structured molecules similar to that found in X-ray experiments, we show that TIP5P-Ew underestimates such value. Moreover, unlike SPC/E, we demonstrate that TIP5P-Ew does not follow the linear dependence of the logarithm of the structured fraction with inverse temperature, as predicted by the two-order parameter model. Finally, we link structure to dynamics by showing that there exists a strong correlation between structural fluctuation and dynamics in the supercooled state with spatial correlations in both static and dynamic quantities.
